SD 5 channel sub channel at 1.33 ohms?

Looking hard at either the 800.5 or 1300.5. I would love to run the 3 RF 2nd gen. Audiophile subs I have. But I am thinking that 3 4 ohm subs might be too much for these amps. I am not a basshead, but I like it loud. What do you think? Just run 2 and save one in case? Or just run the 2 Exile XT10s I have already in a box? :)

1.33 ohms is cutting it tight, the protection will likely kick in if driven hard.

1300.5 makes 830 or so watts into 2 ohms. Make sure you have some woofers that can handle the power.

Two XT10's a SD800.5 would be a better choice, but they are not the loudest woofers out there.
